Celebrate Raksha Bandhan with Your Furry Friend – Pet Rakhi Ideas

Pet parents are rarely able to divide their love between their human and pet siblings. Our furry companions, such as dogs, cats, rabbits, or birds, are our wordless soulmates, confidants, and best friends. It makes perfect sense to celebrate Raksha Bandhan with them, too!

If you think about it, they are just like our loving protectors: guarding the house, greeting you joyfully every time you return home, while also demanding your undivided attention every moment!

This Raksha Bandhan, make a paw-some statement by tying a rakhi on your beloved pet’s paw (or wing). Before we reveal some ideas to celebrate the day with your pet, do consider some important points:

• Choose non-toxic, soft materials. Avoid beads, glitter, or anything that your pet can swallow.
• Most pets don’t like wearing clothes or even rakhis. Don’t force them if they are uncomfortable.
• Supervise them during the celebrations to see that the rakhi and clothes have not been damaged or torn, or that the pet has not gotten into the mithai box! If the accessories or clothes irritate the pet’s skin, remove them immediately.

Now let’s get on to the heartwarming task of celebrating! Here are some unique pet rakhi ideas to make the celebration memorable for you and your pet:

Get a Rakhi That Shows Their Unique Personality

Whether quirky or sweet, your fluffy friend has their own personality. The rakhi they sport must reflect it, and this is where pet-inspired rakhi designs come in! Shop for rakhis with miniature paw prints, or motifs like bones, fish, or cute pet-face charms. Some pet rakhis are designed in soft fabric bands or elastic loops that don’t irritate your pet’s skin.

We recommend a dog-themed rakhi with a bone charm for your loyal doggo, or a cat rakhi featuring a tiny bell, or even a custom rakhi with your pet’s nickname!

Not only are these rakhis fun, they make for great conversation starters and photo-ops for social media.

Pet-Friendly Rakhi Gifts That Gladden Their Soul

Every pet loves their treats, toys and belly rubs. So imagine their delight when they receive pet-friendly rakhi gifts created just for them! These are some gifting ideas for your pet to show how much you love them:

Dog Treat Hampers: Filled with vet-approved snacks and food like jerky strips, probiotic biscuits, or chew bones.

Cat Care Kits: These can include catnip mice, feather toys and grooming brushes.

Pet Spa Vouchers: These vouchers are redeemed to give your pet a luxuriant bath and grooming at a reputed pet salon.

Customised Bowls, Bandanas or Beds: These are personalised with your pet’s name and are a stylish utility gift they can use every day.

Have a Rakhi Photo Session

Let everyone (and their pets) in on the fun: organise a mini rakhi celebration at home for your pet and your friends and neighbours, complete with decorations, festive outfits and a rakhi theme. Do a DIY photo shoot using a simple backdrop with flowers or fairy lights, outfits coordinated between humans and pets, and a rakhi on your pet’s collar or paw (tie it loosely for their comfort).

This will make for many paw-dorable moments that you and everyone present can treasure forever.

If your siblings are far away, celebrate Rakhi uniquely with long distance tips to stay connected and make them feel special no matter the distance.

Create a Custom Rakhi Hamper for Your Pet

Celebrate your bond with your pet by curating a hamper that includes things your pet will go crazy over. Mix your pet’s favourite treats or biscuits with a personalised bracelet or keychain for yourself, showing a photo with you and your pet.

Other pet rakhi ideas for gift hampers include a plush toy for your dog with a paw-shaped pendant for you, a catnip pouch with a custom mug bearing your cat’s photo, or a grooming kit with matching hairbrushes for pets and parents.

You can make these presents even more delightful with some personalized gift wrapping ideas suitable for special Rakhi presents to add a thoughtful finishing touch.

Send Rakhis for Pets in Other Homes

Does your pet go out every day? Chances are high that they have other pet friends, and that you know of other humans who treat their pets like family members, just like you do. Send a rakhi for pets to these households! It’s a thoughtful way to acknowledge that you love their pet and that you are thinking of them on Raksha Bandhan.

If you’re short on time or live far away, know how you can even send Rakhi online anywhere in the world, ensuring your loved ones – both human and furry – feel special on this special day. Include a card with the rakhi with a message for the pet. For example, the card could say, ‘For the goodest boy/girl _____ (pet’s name), Happy Raksha Bandhan!’

We offer pet-friendly rakhi gifts like wooden frames and charms for pets. You can also curate your own pet rakhi hampers to send across India and even internationally to your siblings’ and friends’ pets.

Let this Raksha Bandhan go beyond tradition and become truly inclusive. Your pet should feel like a cherished part of the celebration, and there are so many ways to do this. Whether it’s a rakhi for pets, a gift, or just some extra treats and cuddles, it’s all about celebrating bonds, no matter if your sibling has two legs or four. Here’s to a purr-fect celebration!
